If, instead, you arrive in Puglia by plane, then this other page interests you.
The closest airport to us is in Foggia, but this serves almost only national destinations, except the flight from Munich (MUC, Germany) operated by Lumiwings from end of May to the beginning of September.
The main airport in Puglia is Bari (120 km south of Foggia). Once you land in Bari, to continue towards the north of the Region you can choose the train or – during the tourist season – the bus, which is by far the best option. You will spend about € 30/40 per person in total for the two return trips.
>>> As we were saying, from the beginning of May to mid-October, Puglia Airbus (Puglia East to Reach) is operational: a fast bus that directly connects Gargano and the Bar Airport with four round trips per day (morning, midday, afternoon and night): for example, the bus that leaves from Bari airport stops at Manfredonia-Monte Sant’Angelo (Leclerc) after 1 hour and 40 minutes of travel, at Mattinata in 2 hours, at Vieste in 2 hours and 50 minutes, at Peschici-Vico del Gargano (Calenelle) in 3 and a half hours. Not bad? You won’t waste any more time taking the shuttle from Bari airport to Bari station and, above all, without changing from one means of transport to another.
>>> Bari Centrale train station is connected to Bari Airport by a Ferrotramviaria train (www.ferrovienordbarese.it) or by AMTAB bus (line 16): the latter costs €1 and takes about 45 minutes and passes every half hour. Afterwards, you will have to continue with a regional or Intercity train from Bari to Foggia (www.trenitalia.com). From Foggia you will continue by bus with Ferrovie del Gargano or SITA to Manfredonia, Monte Sant’Angelo or Vieste (www.cotrap.it).
Bike transport is permitted on most trains, unlike buses.
Don’t worry: if you have booked a bike rental or a tour with us, we will little by little provide you with all the information via WhatsApp.
Remember, however, that we can organize a private transfer for you: ask us for a quote!
